Bran is high in dietary fibre and a good source of bioactive compounds, but its use in food applications is limited due to technological and sensory challenges. Arabinoxylan (AX) is the main dietary fibre component in wheat, and especially AX solubilisation is considered essential for the baking performance of bran.In the newly published paper of VTT it was shown that enzyme-aided solubilisation of bran AX can also be efficiently performed at low water content.
